[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 833065, member: 9364"] Make no mistake, nobody is making the Bears out to be some formidable opponent with an impenetrable suit of armor we can't crack. I even said I wouldn't be shocked at all if we beat them on the road week 1. I think the reason a lot of us aren't calling it a win is because we're working with a new offensive scheme and seeing some young receivers who are going to have to step and do more this year than they did last. There's just a good chance that we're not going to come firing out the gate. Thing is, at the end of the day, week 1 can be pretty meaningless. I mean, we saw the Tampa Bay Bucs go on the road and outgun the Saints in the Superdome and then knock off the defending Superbowl champs after and the media had that "FitzMagic" tagline they were saying. But by midseason, they looked like the same old Bucs we all know. All that to say between both the Bears and Packers, either team's season could flip on a dime easily. I don't think anyone's down on our team, but just tempering expectations for the timebeing until we get an idea of the LaFleur identity. I think while the offense will hopefully be improved, I do think we still need to add not just depth, but that one weapon who could turn the short passing game into the big play 50 yard kind of gain by making people miss in the open field. Add that and I think Rodgers would feel less trigger happy about always needing to chuck it deep to get the big plays. This year the plan was obviously to invest the draft capital in the defense, and if all goes according to plan, I think 2020 we'll use it to get the final pieces on offense to make the Superbowl happen.
